Indiana Joes green tea.

If you like Arizona green tea with ginseng then you'll love Indiana Joes green tea without high fructose corn syrup. It's very easy to make and you can find everything in one grocery store. And one gallon of Indiana Joes green tea without high fructose corn syrup will cost less to make than one quart of Arizona green tea with ginseng. Granted, the tea bags I buy come in a 100 tea bag box. (Enough to make 4 gallons)
And the bag of cane sugar will make considerably more than 4 gallons.
Here is what you need:
1 gallon clear plastic or glass tea pitcher with lid to keep the bugs out.
One and a half cups of cane sugar granulated.
4 tablespoons of lemon juice.
1 gallon (128 ozs) of spring water.
25 green tea tea bags

*Fill the tea pitcher with one gallon of spring water. I like to cut all the strings and tags off of the 25 tea bags and then put the bags in the spring water. Put the lid on and let it sit outside in the sun all day long and even all night long and all day long again tomorrow for that matter. Stir it once every 4 to 8 hours.

*Then with clean hands of course, squeeze the water out of the tea bags back into the pitcher and throw the tea bags in the trash. Be careful not to squeeze the tea bags too hard causing the bags to rupture or you will have green tea with pulp. (Optional)

*(Do this after it has been soaking in the Sun for a day or two) (bugs aren't really interested in it if it doesn't have sugar yet as it is sitting in the great wide open hopefully with a lid just in case). Put one and a half cups of granulated cane sugar in the tea and four tablespoons of lemon juice and then stir. Then stir again 5 minutes later insuring that all of the sugar has dissolved and you don't see any cane sugar settling on the bottom of the pitcher.

Chill in the refrigerator for 24 hours or drink it warm.

Some delicious iced tea right there. Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to use this!

Will we see this on store shelves next to Arizona soon??
@SethGreene531 probably not. People love their imitation sugar and other chemicals too much.
